patience waiting for 2010.... - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

i appreciate everyones MATURE input in this thread...its very refreshing

honestly...it wouldnt be so annoying if nissan would just announce the goddamn thing already (new silvia i mean)

i think my biggest thing right now is parting with my car and knowing that the person who buys it isnt going to take care of it the same i did...theyre going to take it out and beat the mess out of it...or its gonna get stolen because theyre not going to garage it

im starting to get a headache from thinking about it so much UGH *cries*

Yea it would be nice if they would just come out and tell us whats up. I think sooner then later something big ids going to get leaked.

eulalia · 05-27-2008, 01:47 PM

get a used 350

and if you want in 2010

get this bad boy 370z

or just get a nice s14

dorkidori_s13 · 05-27-2008, 02:13 PM

well i was planning on a 2003 or 2004 Z as they are getting much more affordable now...the s14 isnt even on my mind...still too old of a car

S chassis are just getting to the point where they are more of a restoration project than anything else...trying to find a good condition S chassis that hasnt been molested is getting damn near impossible now...i got EXTREMELY lucky when i bought my coupe...it was in good shape exterior and interior wise...but it had SO many problems outside of that...engine leaked TONS of oil (swapped my SR back in after 2 weeks or owning it)...my KA PS pump blew up in my drive way

i think maybe my tastes are maturing a bit now that im older and have a bit more money...i guess i just want something that isnt on the "most stolen cars" list...the 350z doesnt have the same theft and vandalism problems that the 240 does as the car isnt affordable by alot of people for the most part

*DaPCWiz* · 05-27-2008, 02:14 PM

I'm kinda in the same shoes. Don't really wanna sell the S14, but I'm tired of DDing it. Trying to decide between buying a DD (third car... I have an S13 that sits in pieces as well). or selling the S14 and using the funds from that + money I'd pay for the DD to buy a Z.... mmmmm Z. I think i'm gonna hold out. I don't consider my 240 "done"... and I hate to leave a project unfinished.

Depends how long you've been into the 240 game as well. Things get old after a while... its over 3 years for me... I think I gotta few more before I move on.

dorkidori_s13 · 05-27-2008, 02:19 PM

ive been building S13s for over 6 years now...im still on my first SR

i love my S13 to death...but its just become a hassle...cant drive it normally...dont want it to get ruined...dont want it to get stolen (S13s are coming up missing all the time now in vegas...doesnt matter what security system you have...if a thief wants it...theyll take it)

but at the same time...its hard to imagine life with a car payment and without my beloved s13 onevia

Agreed BTW Happy birthday bro

dorkidori_s13 · 05-27-2008, 03:17 PM

well i just talked to my insurance company...there would be no way i could afford a 2003 350Z + full coverage insurance (AT LEAST 300 bux a month for the car payment PLUS another 415 a month for insurance...I FUKING HATE VEGAS INSURANCE RATES)

im very sad now

*slidin_W.O.P* · 05-27-2008, 03:49 PM

I almost didnt get mine for the same reason, and now thats the reason I am selling mine... its a shame that insurance FOR the car costs more than the car.

If youre worried about your car getting stolen, arent there companies out there that insure your car and the "modifications" done to it?

That is nuuuuuuuuuts.

Ef. That. Just save up and wait for the new 240.

*slidin_W.O.P* · 05-27-2008, 04:19 PM

is the new 240 going to be ALL that much less, being that it will still be a sports car and will still require full coverage (being new)?

*exitspeed* · 05-27-2008, 04:34 PM

^
Probably not that much, but at least it'll give him some time to save up some cash. Then he can at least make his car payment significantly less.

*slidin_W.O.P* · 05-27-2008, 04:41 PM

very true, be the first on that list man... SUPER sick

SinisterSntra91 · 05-27-2008, 04:50 PM

Get rid of the hardbody and get a 05+ frontier, I would keep the s chassis. You will miss it. Since you want something reliable and newer and can be a daily, I would get a newer truck. I love my 06 frontier crew cab 4x4. Its a little beast. I have taken it on many road trips, chicago twice, florida once. Its very reliable and roomy. For a v6 4.0 its quite powerful and fast for a truck. Its pretty quiet on the interior. Its the reason road noise, rattles and humms bother me now. Guess you can say it spoiled me. Its a blast in the mud and snow. Besides you never realize how useful a truck is once you are without one. The S chassis is paid off, its not costing you anymore than insurance. You wont get much out of selling both so why not keep one?

CKAMC · 05-27-2008, 05:20 PM

wow, I would think that being over 25 would drop your insurance rate a lot

when I bought my DD (06 spec v) 2 years ago they wanted 350 for my head because of two prior violations

now I am down to 250.

add cobb to the exception of piggy back controllers as well.

you could always import something else, heard nevada is one of those states that one can DD a s15, skyline, or some other random car just like arizona. but importing is like another 5k on top of whatever price the car is selling for.

dorkidori_s13 · 05-27-2008, 06:02 PM

well i have a previous accident on my account from getting tboned...not even gonna go into that situation as it was COMPLETE bullshit that i got blamed as i was the one making the LEGAL turn...stupid north las vegas cop

i called geico back and messed around with the insurance a bit on the phone with geico...i can get it down to 350 a month if i picked up a 2003 350Z...just need to find out how much my monthly payments would be if i socked an extra 5 grand on to the car at purchase (and save the rest of the money from the 240 for goodies for the Z...cant roll around on stock suspension or rims now can we)

and...to answer the question above about the new S chassis (or whatever you wanna call it)...its SUPPOSED to be in the 20-23 grand range...brand new 350Zs are in the 34-42k range (depending on trim level...i believe the NISMO 350Z is like 48 grand...yikes)

vegas has one of the WORST insurance ratings in america right now...vegas is a town that in 2000 had 400,000 people in it...were now over 2 million i believe...and that was over the period of 8 years o.O...with tons of people comes tons of horrible drivers

i swear people in this country take their license for granted...shit...in the UK you have to take a test PER engine size...hell...from what ive read and been told...in japan you have to take a course for 6 months just to get a license (please correct me if im wrong)

enough whining though...the light is starting to get brighter again at the end of the tunnel

Bubbles · 05-27-2008, 06:58 PM

Pretty much already been said but while I like 350's for the money I could have a 240 I would like more.

It seems weird to me that 240's are more likely to get stolen than Z's.

mRclARK1 · 05-27-2008, 07:07 PM

I'd say just wait. The 350Z is a great car, but I think it's a little overrated (yes, I have been behind the wheel of one)... just not worth that insurance rate mainly IMHO.

There's already a few (illegal mind you) kicking around. Last thing Canada needs is MORE imported Skylines... I swear I see at least 3-4 a day now. Fun car yes, but there's nothing unique about them anymore

dorkidori_s13 · 05-27-2008, 08:07 PM

u canadian guys...im so fricken envious...gotta love americas shitty import policy...nevermind we can have gas guzzling V8s running around all day long belching out TONS of pollutants...but OH NO...when someone tries to bring a skyline into the country...oh jesus...the EPA and customs steps in and makes it out to be this blasphemous event

remember kids...japanese cars are built by child eating, fire breathing nazis who want nothing more than to sodomize the world with their evil demon pagan, false idol worshiping ways of good gas millage and clean burning engines

gregfarz78 · 05-27-2008, 08:20 PM

damn that sucks man...go for the best of both worlds vq swap in your s14

s0apgun · 05-27-2008, 09:07 PM

wait it out... seriously.

and why do you need full coverage on the 350z?

i'll be driving a 240sx and Impreza 2.5 until i get out of college then it will be an AWD Lexus and the new 240sx when im finished with school

CKAMC · 05-27-2008, 09:19 PM

meh just find a clean 350 chassis and then just grab one of the hr's or 3.7's

I spoke with an importer a while back and they said there are just barely starting to get Hr's and 3.7's already but they run a good premium like 2jz's and some rb's

a good 350 body is like 11~15k ish

gregfarz78 · 05-27-2008, 09:39 PM

Seems pointless b/c a low mileage HR will run you 3k then you need ecu/bcm/nats to go with it probably add another 1k for that...you can't just mix and match ecu's its a lot more complicated with the 350z.

vq37s I don't even want to guess what those cost I'm sure its a lot more though

Want a Skyline? I'll go steal a black R32 for you... There's sooooo many here that whoever I steal one from will have another before I get yours somewhere to stash it. lolz

Skyline ownership in Canada basically spells "fanboy" to me... everyone's getting one. I know a lot of decent and non-fanboy types who own them too, but generally it's becoming the fanboy car here. I would say (where I live at least) they're more common then S-chassis's.

Used to live there. I know how hard it is. Just here they're so EASY to own, that it's become that. It sucks, but it's true.

People here still seem to react like "ZORMGOMGWTFBBQ!!! It's A SKYLINE!!!!" every time they see one though.

When I say I saw three on my way home from work (which is not far... I can go home for lunch if I wish) it's not an exaggeration. I saw three.

dorkidori_s13 · 05-27-2008, 11:02 PM

If i could share with you "My Pictures" folder of modded 350z's on my computer.. you wouldn't think twice about waiting until 2010.

Get a Z.. you won't regret it... Pikes Peak White ftw!
